Pierre Bengtsson (born 12 April 1988) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a left back for Vejle BK on loan from Copenhagen.
On 23 November 2014, Mainz 05 announced that they had signed Bengtsson effective 1 January 2015. Since his contract with FC Copenhagen had expired 31 December 2014, he was available on a free transfer and signed a contract for three and a half years until summer 2018.
Bengtsson was a part of the Swedish youth national teams, gaining 29 matches in total. He was a part of the Swedish squad at the 2009 UEFA Under-21 Championship.
On 19 January 2011, Bengtsson made his debut for the senior national team in a friendly against Botswana.
Despite playing regularly as left back for Sweden during the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying, he was surprisingly not selected for the final squad. However, he was eventually called up to replace the injured Martin Olsson. |
